What notebook should I get?

I'm searching for a nice notebook I could get to fit my needs.

-Mobile
-Extreme Gameplaying to the max
-Clean and Clear Screen
-Nice Wide Screen that's not too big
-Sufficient Memmory for almost anything
-Burns/Rewrites CD's/DVD's
-Basic Schooling needs
-Wireless Internet
-Wireless "built in" Phone
-"Built in" Web Cam
-and anything else you could think of that would fit in with this stuff. So are there any notebooks like this out there? And if so, what are they all and what's the price range that they are all in, thank you.

Best there is for gaming available at the moment.
Its going to cost you quite a lot though.... the battery life is atrocious... and its heavy as hell.
Its a good "transportable" computer though.

Alienware also offers pretty much the same thing

The alienware is based exactly on the Sager 9860.

I also reccomend checking out eMachines laptops, not so high-end, but A LOT cheaper. I can't belive people would buy sager products. That price on that laptop is outrageous and they are louder than B747 engines. If your a student I strongly reccomend IBM.

I'm looking also. I was looking at a Toshiba at Best buy for $1599. The a75-s229.
What do think about that one?

I would prefer to stay away from Toshiba, they used to be good but now I heard they use cheap parts. My friend had to take his Toshiba to the compuexorcist!

DELL is good...

I've got a Dell Inspiron 8600 with the wide-screen, built in wifi, and a great video card, 1.4 MHz, and 640 MB Ram.

I use it for gaming (i.e. Americas Army) and it works great.
